“Minimum requirements: Right to work in the UK, relevant degree and a passion for FMCG.”
Premier Foods, from its own careers pages
The catch: The right to work requirement is quoted from the graduate page, which is where Premier Foods states it; the apprenticeship page repeats no visa position of its own. Apprenticeships are advertised as individual vacancies rather than one annual intake, so there is no single deadline.
